The event will run Friday - Sunday on the weekend of August 19-21. Friday is what we like to call “Day Zero” and is reserved for casual Arcade, team games, or friendly showmatches between players. This day is for everyone to get to know each other a little better and have fun! It’s optional, but highly encouraged.
The official tournament starts Saturday with the double-elim open bracket, and concludes on Sunday with the semi-finals and finals.
Friday: Aug 19th, 23:00 GMT (+00:00) to 03:00 GMT (+00:00) for fun/casual games!

Sunday: Aug 21st, finals day, 18:00 GMT (+00:00) to 23:00 GMT (+00:00) (approximate end time)
Note: for those familiar with the tournament, this usually would have been scheduled for July, but with several overlapping tournaments and personal time commitments, I had to move it to August. Hope it doesn't inconvenience anyone!
All players must live in the Midwest. To verify this, you’ll need to get a picture of your driver’s license (or other government-issued photo ID) and black out the personal information except for your picture, first name, and state. Include that picture in your registration, either as a link or by email. For an example of a good picture that proves residency, check out my lovely mugshot: http://imgur.com/Vq9rzTb
Please note that we will never distribute your proof of residence information; we will even make sure your name and state is kept private if you prefer.
